Rails console glitches in Ubuntu with Rails 4.1

Question

I have a default DigitalOcean VPS running ubuntu + ngnx + unicorn (from the predefined images). When I connect to the box via ssh everything works fine, until I fire rails c , then when I leave the console, bash starts to perform all types of glitches - half of the commands get missing letters, sometimes it shows the rails console prompt, sometimes the ubuntu one. It's basically unusable. Any idea what to poke for this problem?

I am using rails 4.1 in production mode.

Maybe that's not what you would like to ear, but you can try a different shell (maybe ZSH plus OhMyZsh!):

sudo apt-get install zsh  

then

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
