Arpeggio sign in bar 18 in GC (→GE) & EE1 (→EE2)

Arpeggio sign in bar 17 in FE

Both signs suggested by the editors

It is hard to conclude how the difference in the placement of arpeggios occurred. Perhaps Chopin wrote the arpeggio in bar 18 in the base text to EE, from which it was copied to GC, while the sign in bar 17 was added in the proofreading of FE. It probably means that it is the respective chords in both discussed bars and all similar, hence in bars 35-36 (in which arpeggios are not marked at all) and in bars 81-82 (in which FE includes signs in both bars), that should be performed with an arpeggio. Therefore, in the main text we give both signs.
