In A the slur in bar 76, last in a line, suggests that it should be continued, which is not confirmed by the slur at the beginning of bar 77. The comparison with analogous situations in bars 163-164 and 243-244, which are not at the beginning or end of a line in A, does not make it easier to guess Chopin's intention, since in bars 163-164 there is a continuous slur, whereas in bars 243-244 the slur is divided. In this situation, to the main text we adopt the FE solution, which could be considered compromise – the slurs meeting on the 1st quaver in bar 77.
Similarly, in bars 80-81.
