What were you trying to do?

Re-open the project and see nodes where they were left last time.

What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?

Expected: nodes aren't moving to seemingly random places.
Reality: They do.

Happens only to the ChannelMerge.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Save a project with the node below connected somewhere mid-tree
2. Re-open the project
3. Node that the node has moved

Node attached.
