I also use a grocery text file, and this just started happening to me too.
Clearing cache and rebooting didn't work for me either.
There is a workaround until the devs fix this. You can install another text editor, then use the ... menu to choose "open with", then choose the other text editor.

Good to get confirmation that it's not just me and that it's a recent change! Hopefully it will sort itself out. I mostly edit the file on my PC, so my workaround is to keep the web link to the file open in a Chrome tab on my phone. Refreshing that always gives me the most recent list.
If I want to edit it on my phone, I can pull up the (not most recent file), make a small edit, and save it. That will save as a new file that I can now delete and when I pull up the original, it now has the most recent version.
