Behaviour not working in fullscreen (Google Chrome)

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
I set up a behaviour for Google Chrome with several actions: toggle fullscreen, play/pause Netflix, enter fullscreen on Netflix, and exit Netflix fullscreen on my Harmony One remote. These work perfectly when Google Chrome is windowed, but don't work when Chrome is in fullscreen. When I try to play/pause Netflix when it's already in fullscreen, for instance, I get the standard mac error sound as if I'm trying to use an application that isn't active.

Under Application specific options under Implementation, I have tried it with all combinations of "activate application and bring it to front" and "send event directly to this application" both checked and unchecked, but it makes no difference.

When I test the action to exit fullscreen with the "run actor in 3 seconds option", it does correctly take Netflix out of fullscreen mode, but once I try it with the remote, it doesn't work. Is there anything else I can do?

Edit: The same thing happens in Safari. Works in windowed mode, but not fullscreen.

Edit 2: Toggle fullscreen (cmd shift F) works perfectly with the remote. It's only once I'm on the Netflix site and play/pause (spacebar) in fullscreen or exit fullscreen (escape) that it doesn't work.
