Dots in AI

Wedge & slur with dot in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)

The staccato dots on the 2nd and 3rd quavers visible in AI is the original version of the articulation, replaced in A by a slur and a dot. Moreover, in A Chopin provided the first quaver in the bar, B, with a wedge. Lack of both staccato signs in the editions is probably a mistake, yet it could have been accepted by Chopin.
