Chrome remote desktop resolution issue Ubuntu 18.04

On a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install, I installed Chrome Remote Desktop and followed the instructions for making it actually work found in the highly referenced Medium article (more details found on superuser). When I connect to the computer remotely, the size of the screen is very small (probably around 1000x600 of the full 1920x1080). No amount of check mark clicking/unclicking in the chrome remote desktop settings change this. What is going on and how do I fix it?

More details:

• If I connect already in full screen mode, everything works just fine. If I connect not in full screen mode, the screen size goes wild.

• In /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop I have DEFAULT_SIZES = "1920x1080" which is both the resolution of my local and remote computer.

• When the resolution issue is present, I can check the computer resolution under Displays and it is set to the proper resolution (1920x1080). If I choose a different resolution, the resolution changes (all windows change size), but the size of the display does not.

I would think there is supposed to be some auto detect screen size feature that is broken. I have tried adding a huge list of possible screen resolutions to the DEFAULT_SIZES entry, but this didn't fix it.
