Yes. Spatnav looks outside of activeElement, also looks partially insersecting element. But never looks inside element.

I think using edge as search origin in common cases can minimize unreachable problem. But it maybe reduce intuitiveness. For example, in above scenario, left(apricot? color) and right(yellow color) can be candidate when we hit down key. It looks like such elements are not placed in direction. Of course, it depends on the person. What do you think?
