In FE (→GE1→GE2), the last note in the R.H. is a crotchet, which is a mistake rectified in EE and GE3.

Different interpretation of sources
..

The position of the  mark is insufficiently justified, as far as music is concerned – if the new phrase was supposed to be performed piano (following the previous forte), it should be performed so rather from the beginning of the bar. Therefore, it would be an example of applying the manner of placing indications within their scope of validity. However, the mark in [A] may have been only slightly moved beyond the 1st quaver in the L.H. due to lack of space between the staves. In the main text, we take an attempt to approximately reconstruct that placement; it can also be interpreted literally as ​​​​​​​ right after the beginning of the bar which would perform a double role – end the previous phrase and begin a new one.

We add a cautionary ​​​​​​​ before a2 in the main text. The accidental was added already in GE and EE.

The version of GE3, in which the first quaver of the top voice in bars 233 and 235 is c3, was created almost 10 years after Chopin's death. The reason for the revision was probably the presence of c2 two quavers later. Moreover, it is the missing necessary  lowering d3 to d3 in a similar situation in bar 239 in the previous GE (and FE) that could have convinced the reviser that it is a mistake.
