Yes, I had the same problem as discribed, with the disappearing keybord and so on.
I don't know why, but it seems offline mode does not to work with section access.
The bookmark within the app is like a "screen shot" which is done by the server. As you know, for reload purpose, the server uses the credentials of an admin, so you will get the "screen shot" in admin view, ignoring the authenticate user.
(This was my expirience.)
But in a way it is logical, section access works like :
Step1:
get all possible Data
Step2:
get all Section Access Users
Step 3:
Authenticate User
Step 4:
hide everything what the authenticated user is not allowed to see.
For this you would need a direct connection to the server or a local desktop client, which can calculate and render the graphs, but the iPad-app is just more like a "Snap Shot Viewer" or better "Bookmark-Viewer", if you work offline.
So, no chance for section access and offline mode. You will have to create a single document for each user/ group, or you buy a publisher, which will split you the files automatically.
If somebody knows a trick to get it running, without publisher and a working Section Access in offline mode, please let me know!
