Can't assign a prefab to a public field through the asset selection dialog when it has a class derived from the referencer
Repro steps:
1. Open user attached project
2. Open scene "SmallSpritesScene"
3. Select "MainClassReferencer" GameObject in the Hierarchy
4. Press the dot near the "Main Class Prefab" field to select an asset
Actual: You can't reference a prefab which has a script derived from the public field's class that you're trying to assign the reference to. Dragging and dropping the prefab on to the field works
Reproducible with: 2017.4.27f1, 2018.4.0f1, 2019.1.3f1, 2019.2.0b2, 2019.3.0a2

Resolution Note:
The issue you reported is not a bug, it is actually made by design.
You can find GameObjects in assets, but the object picker doesn't check the prefabs for internal data (components), that's why the object picker is not showing prefab with the desired script from the project assets.
