After clean install of alfresco 3.4.d on a Linux box with host name and domain i.e. docs.company.com
When accessing http://docs:8080/share the site works fine and all navigation and edit dialogs work fine
BUT, when accessing http://docs.company.com:8080/share The site comes up fine and navigation works fine but when editing document lists or add documents or edit meta data, all edit dialogs have "Submit" buttons that fail to do anything other than click. This makes the alfresco database unusable.
This situation is mostly important when making alfresco available over the Internet which needs a fully qualified domain name.
I am hoping that I just missed a Config somewhere to allow alfresco to work from a fqdn
Which browser are you seeing problems with? Are there any errors in log files? Errors on the client (you can see them with Firebug for Firefox, or Web Inspector for WebKit-based browsers)

in tomcat/logs/catalinal.2011-7-11.log There are a number of these types of errors, but don't think this relates SEVERE: A web application created a ThreadLocal with key of type [null] (value [org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.processor.FTLTemplateProcessor$NonBlockingObjectWrapper$1@31bf4e25]) and a value of type [freemarker.template.DefaultObjectWrapper] (value [freemarker.template.DefaultObjectWrapper@6a378a7]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. To prevent a memory leak, the ThreadLocal has been forcibly removed.
