Subsequent shortenings of the  sign in GE and FE (→EE) are certainly accidental. In the main text we reproduce the notation of A.

Dot in A & GE2

Accent in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The c2 note is provided with a staccato dot in A; however, it was omitted in GE1 (→FE→EE), which is most probably an oversight. In turn, the accent under the note appearing in those editions could have been added by Chopin. However, according to us, in this case it is also a mistake of the engraver that is more likely, since accenting c2 diverts attention from the syncopation opening the next two-bar phrase. Therefore, in the main text we leave the notation of A (restored in GE2).

b. 219

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

4 dots in A

5 dots in GE (→FE→EE)
..

According to us, the additional dot in GE (→FE→EE) is most probably a mistake of the engraver of GE1.

Similarly as in bars 217-218, we consider the subsequent shortenings of the  sign in GE (→FE) and EE to be accidental, hence in the main text we reproduce the notation of A.
