In A the bottom note of the 4th quaver was corrected by Chopin from g to a (similarly in bars 2, 5, 6 and 22). In the 1st bar, the result of this correction is not that obvious, at the first sight, and the version of EE proves that probably the copyist preparing the base text for this edition misinterpreted Chopin's intention.

b. 19

composition: Op. 25 No 8, Etude in D♭ major

Staccato dot in A, FE & EE1 (→EE2)

No mark in GE & EE3

..

GE overlooked the staccato dot at the beginning of the bar. It is most probably a result of an erroneous interpretation of Chopin correction in A. The dot was also deleted in EE3, perhaps as a side effect of adopting the version with the octave from GE.
