  b. 7-8

Slur to bar 8 in A & CGS

Slur to end of bar 7 in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

The L.H. slur, which starts at the beginning of the Prelude, clearly reaches the 1st quaver in b. 8 in A. Nevertheless, both FC (→GE) and FE (→EE) considered it an inaccuracy and led the slur only to the last quaver in b. 7.
