Given a smooth geometrically connected curve C over a field k and a smooth commutative group scheme G of finite type over the function field K of C we study the Tate--Shafarevich groups given by elements of H1(K,G) locally trivial at completions of K associated with closed points of C. When G comes from a k-group scheme and k is a number field (or k is a finitely generated field and C has a k-point) we prove that the Tate--Shafarevich group is finite, generalizing a result of Saïdi and Tamagawa for abelian varieties. We also give examples of nontrivial Tate--Shafarevich groups in the case when G is a torus and prove other related statements.
