I think your installation is OK. There are some known changes regarding button definitions since LE 9.x.
Your button press is activating two actions at the same time, which indicates overlapping definitions.
So, my first advice is to uninstall the keymap editor add-on, and do all definitions manually.
Use the suggested place for remote control definitions, which is /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml .
Give me a feedback how your code acts under the described conditions.
