b. 111

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

No staccato dot in A (→GE)

A dot in FE (→EE)
..

The staccato dot under the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. in FE (→EE) must be the engraver's mistake.

b. 112

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A long accent in A (→GE1→FE)

No accent in EE

A short accent in GE2 (→GE3)
..

A long accent that can be seen in A (→GE1→FE) was omitted from EE and replaced with an ordinary short accent in GE2 (→GE3).

..

In EE, the minim f is written with an extending dot, which is surely a mistake.

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

..

At the beginning of the bar, A has the tenth a flat2-c flat4, which is an obvious mistake. That error was overlooked in GE1, as both in that edition and in the editions based on it, i.e.  FE (→EE) and GE2 (→GE3), the correct octave a flat2-a flat3 appears.

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A possible reading of  in A

A probable reading of  in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

The location of the asterisk  in A seems doubtful. We consider the asterisk under the 3rd crotchet to be more likely, as written more clearly by Chopin in the analogous bar 51, This is also how that detail was understood in GE (→FE→EE).
