Have you performed the usual trouble shooting attempts (trashing prefs etc.) yet?

i never trash prefs.
Well, sometimes you may have to.
Trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears is easy, just make sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and make a note of the Preferences you’ve changed before you do that.
What else?
System maintenance, fonts …

Well, trash (re-set) your preferences right away. That's always step number 1, even before posting.
On the Mac, Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility is also a useful first step.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Actually I have done all those things, but it never answers the problem.
Just restart CS usually works, but why? And then eventually the
issue occurs again. And not every file with an SO exhibits the complaint.

I'm thinking this has something to do with LR5 cuz sometimes it doesn't even
send the smart object over to Photoshop. Other times it sends it to the wrong
Photoshop even tho there is a photoshop open.

I had no idea Lr was involved in this process. I apologize for having chimed in.
