An Ido user can probably help more (I don't use it), but looking quickly in
ido.el I don't see anything special regarding .org or .txt files.

What happens when you turn off ido-mode and use regular file-name completion
(`C-x C-f ... TAB')?  Do you see .org and .txt files as candidates?  If so, then
yes, it is Ido-specific.

If not, then perhaps something has changed `completion-ignored-extensions' so
that it includes ".org" and ".txt".  Check: `C-h v
completion-ignored-extensions'.
