As in b. 252, Chopin deleted in A the  marking placed between the staves and put it before the chords on the bottom stave. The change was not included by FE (→GE,EE); moreover, EE added another  mark before the L.H. part.

d1 in chords in A (→FE→GE) & EE3

The missing d1 notes in the chords must be a mistake by the engraver of EE1 (→EE2). It was corrected only just by EE3.

b. 256-257

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Staccato dot in b. 257 in A

No marks in FE (→GE,EE)

3 dots suggested by the editors
..

In A, there are no staccato/portato dots over the chords in b. 256, while the mark in b. 257, not included by FE (→GE,EE), may be a fleck on paper or a fleck of ink (it is impossible to draw any conclusions on the basis of the available photograph of A). However, taking into account the distinct dots of A in an almost identical motif in b. 252-253, we believe that it is highly likely that Chopin could have generally meant the same performance here. Therefore, in the main text we include the dot in b. 257 and add dots in b. 256, which, being the last in a line, could have been written down less carefully.

A (→FE) did not restore the bass clef before the chords. Chopin's mistake was corrected both by GE and EE.
