Slur from 2nd to 6th quaver in A, literal reading

Slur from 1st to 7th quaver in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

It is hard to imagine that the slur in A, taken literally, covering the 5 middle quavers of a uniform arpeggio, was meant to correspond to Chopin's intention. We therefore believe – like the engraver or editor of GE(→FE,EE,IE) – that this is one of many examples of imprecise A slurs.
