UI SurfaceIndex most of the time wrong

Bug Summary

The UI SurfaceIndex is most of the time wrong:

Game.Tooltip.Register.Surface(function(char,SurfaceType,tooltip)
  local cc = Ext.UI.GetCursorControl()
  local UI = Ext.UI.GetByHandle(cc.TextDisplayUIHandle)
  print(SurfaceType,UI.SurfaceIndex,Ext.Enums.SurfaceType[UI.SurfaceIndex])
  print(SurfaceType,UI.SurfaceIndex2,Ext.Enums.SurfaceType[UI.SurfaceIndex2])
end)

just use this code for client and see yourself ingame, that it does not match the surface you are hovering over in like 90% of the cases.

SurfaceIndex contains the index of the surface in the AI grid surface manager (AiGrid->Surfaces[id]), not the surface type.

thanks.. based on this dump, I see no direct access to Surfaces from AiGrid https://gist.github.com/PinewoodPip/57e20c3239eb45c26a04499b189cc744#file-ext-lua-L12874
Currently I use this solution from LaughinLeader which indeed also uses the AiGrid, but with alot of helper functions/info (local function _GetSurfaces(x, z, grid)): https://github.com/LaughingLeader-DOS2-Mods/LeaderLib/blob/d5169024559612876cd1562aa82e03e4119429ea/Mods/LeaderLib_543d653f-446c-43d8-8916-54670ce24dd9/Story/RawFiles/Lua/Client/UI/Tooltips/TooltipRequestProcessor.lua#L567
