How should notes with both staccato and a tie be played?

Well . . . Appassionata . . . I’m using the Bulow Lebert Edition. During the last three measures of the first movement, I never noticed the staccato with a tie . . . How should that be played?

It’s Beethoven and his symbols are quite puzzling . . . My teacher said it was only to specify that it was one musical phrase, so is that what that is?

    If you still are not sure what to do there, I would listen to some professional interpretations of this piece to get an idea of where to go.

    In Beethoven piano music this would be a portato = Slightly separated but not short.
    In Debussy and Ravel this mark would be a slight accent usually used in the dynamic p.
