The slurs in A

GE (→FE→EE)

The analysis of the notation of those two slurs in A reveals that the first one, which initially embraced only the triplet, was lengthened by Chopin to cover one more beat. The engraver of GE (→FE→EE) disregarded that nuance and adjusted the gap between the slurs to the gap between the beams.
