  b. 131-139

7 staccato dots in GE1

1 dot in FE (→EE)

4 dots in GE2

9 dots suggested by the editors

We give the staccato dots under the bass notes after GE1, in which they are absent only in b. 135-136. According to us, it makes it possible for us to consider (with as high probability as possible) that Chopin's intention was to mark all those notes with dots. The clearly defective version of FE (→EE) probably resulted from the accumulation of the oversights by the engraver of FE1 with the earlier ones, in the handwritten basis for that edition. The omission of the marks in b. 137-139 in GE2 seems to be a revision.
