Abstract: In this note we investigate the behaviour of the absolute logarithmic Weil-height h on extensions of the field $mathbb{Q}^{tr}$ of totally real numbers. It is known that there is a gap between zero and the next smallest value of h on $mathbb{Q}^{tr}$, whereas in $mathbb{Q}^{tr}(i)$ there are elements of arbitrarily small positive height. We prove that all elements of small height in any finite extension of $mathbb{Q}^{tr}$ already lie in $mathbb{Q}^{tr}(i)$. This leads to a positive answer to a question of Amoroso, David and Zannier, if there exists a pseudo algebraically closed field with the mentioned height gap.
