In this bar, FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) contains a few poorly justified cautionary accidentals – naturals before c3 and a1 (the 3rd quaver) and a  repeated before d​​​​​​​2 on the 4th quaver.​​​​​​​ GE3 removed the last two accidentals.

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The fingering given by Fontana in EE and the one entered in FEH are compliant – both develop Chopin's printed indication.

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

L.H. accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent for both hands suggested by the editors
..

A comparison with dynamic markings of analogous bars 648-650 leads to the conclusion that the short accent over the chord in the L.H. probably reproduces Chopin's intention inaccurately. Therefore, in the main text we suggest an averaged mark in terms of both its size and assignment to one or both hands.

b. 646

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In FE, one can see a trace of the original, shorter slur that encompassed only the last group of semiquavers.
