Please note - this is NOT a report about the gates being different heights, I already know that it's a feature.
When fence gates are stood normally they have smooth lighting (if enabled in video settings) but light on gates which are lowered to fit with a stone wall is not being smoothed.
I used a resource pack with less contrast in the wood textures in order to make the problem more visible, however it does occur when no resource packs are selected, the only difference is that normal gates just seem darker and the smoothing is not really visible. No custom block models were used, this is a flaw in the default model files which COULD be fixed with a custom file but would still be a problem with no resource pack on.
Also note that the fence gates in each screenshot are both of the same type (First 3 screenshots are oak, 4th is birch).

This can be fixed by going to assets/minecraft/models/block/ and removing the line "ambientocclusion": false, from wall_gate_open.json and wall_gate_closed.json.

Confirmed for
1.8 Maybe you should say that this is both a oak wood fence gate, I thought before the left is another type 🙂

Actually occurs for all types, but the fix I mentioned would still work, as all 'in-wall' gates are just retextured versions of those two files.

What I meant was more like: The fences on the screenshot are both fences of ONE kind 🙂

This must have been fixed somewhere, cannot reproduce in latest snapshots.

Still able to reproduce in 1.9-pre1. Also tested with no resource pack.
@Grum Did you remember to turn on smooth lighting while testing? 😃 Also remember it's fairly hard to see the difference with the contrast of the base textures, so test with birch gates & moody lighting for best visibility.
(Hint: the fix is quick and simple, given in the very first comment)
