Explicit node coordinates (x/y positions) not fully respected in Sankey diagram

[DanielYang59]

We (@janosh) are trying to generate a Sankey diagram but for some reason the explicit coordinates are not fully respected. The "right_a" node has a coordinate of (0.9, 0.05) (top right), but for some reason shows at bottom left.
