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

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.

Inizia eseguendo la riproduzione Sankey fornita con arrangement="fixed" ed esportando debug.svg, quindi traccia l’implementazione di Sankey e la gestione delle coordinate x/y dei nodi. Il lavoro è completato quando coordinate esplicite come right_a in (0.9, 0.05) vengono riflesse nel diagramma renderizzato senza causare regressioni per gli altri nodi con posizione fissa.
