We had this same problem too. The quick fix appears to be to construct the Encoder with a 2x encoding type, i.e.

Code:

//Assuming Encoder is connected to DIO 1 and 2 and not reversed
Encoder sensor = new Encoder(1,2,false,CounterBase.EncodingType.k2x)

I do not know if it is a bug with the WPILib. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Hope that helps!
