I tried with thunar 1.6.x and 1.8.x .. does not work on both for me, but
actually that was what I expected.

Actually I dont think there is a chance that it works out of the box, since
nano and vi need to run in a terminal.
You can add a special .desktop file into your Applications folder(usually
/usr/share/applications/ )  which defines how to launch nano/vi and which
Terminal Emulator to use. Than thunar should offer it in "start with ...".

Possibly the previous version of linux-mint provided such a file ? For sure it
is not a thunar issue.

Another solution would be to get the custom-action right ... actually you
almost did it, you just missed some quotes.
I just fixed the related wiki-entry:
