Sorry I cannot provide a file and I think the problem is a mixture of 
character encoding and escape sequences.

For example if I run tmux and create a pane with C-b % the border between 
the two panes is not displayed with line characters but with an a with an 
accent.
This is clearly a character encoding Problem since Putty with encoding set 
to UTF8 displays Borders correctly.

But there are other problems e.g. if i open vim it destroys partially text 
printed in the other pane. This I would call problems with escape 
sequences, however I'm no expert.

However discussing problems with terminals, character encodings and escape 
sequences might be a little bit offtopic. I just thought this list would be 
the right place to find someone who went through the same pain and solved 
it.
