Our variant suggestion

The missing e1 note in the R.H. in FE (→GE,EE) seems to be an oversight by the engraver, since analogous motifs are generally led in thirds.

Longer slur in AI & FE (contextual interpretation→GE,EE)

Shorter slur in FE (literal reading)
..

The fact that the slur is not continued in a new line in FE is most probably an oversight by the engraver, and it was interpreted as such in the remaining editions. A longer slur is also present in AI, which allows us to recognise this version as the only one intended by Chopin.
