Chart too large - error is showing up only after clicking another format, not on the page where the error should have shown up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a "large" report in table-format .  I did choose vertical component, horizontal OS .
(check url !)
2.This works nice, now, click on the "Bar" link.
3.You don't see anything, except an empty <img alt="Graphical report results"
4.Click on the "table" link
5.You get the error: "Sorry, but 2000 x 2000 is the maximum size for a chart." , and the links to table, .. are gone .



Expected Results:  
the error: "Sorry, but 2000 x 2000 is the maximum size for a chart."  is shown on the "bar"-page itself .
When clicking on the table link, the table-page is shown like it was originally.

(and, can you adjust those limitations about max size for a chart?)

Probably related to bug 185474, but not a duplicate, imho.  This bug is about handling the error message once bug 185474 has occured.

There are a couple of issues here:

- We don't put up a better error if the image ends up too large
- The "Table" link has height and width parameters, which perhaps it shouldn't
- Those parameters get validated, causing the error, even though they won't be used

Still, the impact's not massive.

Still a problem in Bugzilla 3.7.1. It would probably be easy to validate the height and width of the image as they are passed to the URL.
