Description
When the suggest wizard is used for a group-type field, the list of items inside which the suggest wizard searches may be different than the list of items displayed in the selector itself, because permissions are not checked the same way. In particular the suggest wizard takes mount points into account while the selector's list doesn't.
We must make sure that the same selection criteria apply to both lists.

Yeah, true. The group list is filled by t3lib_loadDBgroup if I'm not mistaken - I'm not too sure if we can use this for the suggest wizard, too.
Anyways, I intended the suggest wizard to be used for data sets where a normal selector box does not make sense - what is your use case for having both? Maybe you would be better of with a filter box above the selector? Or is this just a general remark because you noticed it while developing?

What do you mean "having both"? Is there a way to hide the normal selector box? I always have both.
My use case is mostly group-type fields related to tables with lots of entries, where it's really not possible to make choices in the selector.
Yes, a filter box above the selector would be better, but that doesn't exist in the Core AFAIK. Or did I miss something?

OK, sorry about the "both" thing. I now see in another project quite a few fields with just the wizard. I can't access the other project right now, but I think there's some customization done on the selectors, so that's maybe why we have the selector and the wizard.
Anyway the problem remains that the suggest wizard does not work like the selector and IMO the suggest wizard is wrong. It should not be necessary to have access to some records to be able to make relations to them. Of course, this is debatable. Maybe it should be a configuration option.
