Unable to access documents in Offline Mode on Chromebook

Unable to access documents in Offline Mode on Chromebook

Sorry if this is duplicative -- I've replied to a couple of other threads in the same vein, but though it might be a good idea to start a discussion focused on this specific topic.

Either the most recent Chromium OS update (specs below), or Zoho Writer 3, or a combination of both seems to have disabled the offline mode for Zoho Writer.

While online, I set up offline mode and specify the documents I want to access offline. However, when offline, I cannot access the documents.

When I attempt to navigate to the specified URL (either www.writer.zoho.com/offline.do or writer3.zoho.com/offline.do), the Chrome browser tells me I am in offline mode (no kidding) and cannot access the document. Neither option at that point (try again or cancel) does any good. 

Some of the other posts seem to indicate that the removal of Google Gears from the Chrome browser has made it incapable of handling offline access for Zoho Writer. I'm hoping that's not the case.

Thanks,
