Suddenly stopped getting dialog to edit with LR changes when opening in Photoshop

Question

I have LR4 and PS CS5. Edited several photos this morning without a problem --But this evening, after editing in LR, clicked command+E to open in Photoshop- as I always do, but didn't get the dialog that gives me the option to edit with LR changes. The files are opening as raw instead of TIFF all of a sudden! I have done nothing different aside from updating the Kubota dashboard. Could that have messed things up? This is such a mystery and I have a job to finish! HELP!
I deleted the Kubota plug-in since that was the only thing I did out of the ordinary but still no luck. I am deserate to get images edited in LR transferred to PS WITH THE EDITS! Why would it work one minute and not the next???
Just tried to edit in Color Efex from Lightroom and got the dialogue. So...it's only happening with Photoshop. PLEASE help! I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling with updated Camera Raw 6.7 plugin. No luck....I need to finish a job!
It worked fine this morning!

With ACR 6.7 installed to Photoshop CS5, even a PV2012 image coming from LR can be opened OK by Photoshop, with all adjustments correct - just the same in this respect, as when using CS6 with ACR 7.
AFAICT the difference being, ACR 6.7 is capable of making a "straight through" conversion employing the 2012 process version, but lacks any interface in which to view and adjust that.
So I suspect the issue here, is not that LR is doing anything wrong. Photoshop's settings need to allow an image that Lr is passing it, to open directly into the editor, wihtout trying to interact with that using the ACR window along the way. This  also means, you cannot properly interact with a Smart Object from inside PS, using ACR 6.7, either - when the image develop parameters involved belong to PV2012 (though you can, when these belong to an earlier PV).
IMO the solution probably lies in your PS or your ACR settings - whatever is in effect invoking ACR automatically when PS opens a TIFF. This is what you do not want to happen, for PV2012.
Prior to ACR 6.7, you would have needed to instead select the option "Render in LR" in order to see PV2012 adjustments properly. And you could still do that - leaving ACR with nothing to do, and so making its version compatibility moot - provided it stays out of the way..
Also, I believe that when instead of using the Ctrl+E or "Edit in PS" command, you make and use a named external editing preset, the interaction between LR and PS changes whereby an already-saved file is made on disk before PS sees anything. The other way, what PS opens is an as-yet-unsaved image.
[edit: one reason you are now not seeing a dialog that you did see before, is that ever since you installed ACR 6.7, Lr now realises that Ps has a 2012-compatible conversion - so you now stop getting the incompatibility warning that earlier ACR versions would have flagged up. If the dialog in question has been set to "always do this" (whatever "this" is) then you will just see LR and PS attempt to do that, without asking.
In Lr Preferences, General tab, you can "Reset all warning dialogs".]
