In the part of the L.H. A has two crotchets and a quaver, hence the bar has only five quavers. On the basis of the alignment of the notes to the R.H., it turns out that Chopin most probably overlooked the dots extending the first octave. The dots were added in a proofing of FE (→GE,EE).

In A (→FE→GE1) the rhythmic values of the upper voice do not fill the 2nd half of the bar, as the d1-f1 third is a common crotchet. According to us, an oversight of the dots extending the crotchet are more likely in this situation. This is how it was interpreted in EE, adding the dots. In subsequent GE,s a quaver rest was added.
