  * While capturing is enabled, the current window will have the
  * `SDL_WINDOW_MOUSE_CAPTURE` flag set.
  *
+ * Please note that as of SDL 2.0.22, SDL will attempt to "auto capture"
+ * the mouse while the user is pressing a button; this is to try and make
+ * mouse behavior more consistent between platforms, and deal with the common
+ * case of a user dragging the mouse outside of the window. This means that
+ * if you are calling SDL_CaptureMouse() only to deal with this situation,
+ * you no longer have to (although it is safe to do so). If this causes
+ * problems for your app, you can disable auto capture by setting the
+ * `SDL_HINT_MOUSE_AUTO_CAPTURE` hint to zero.
+ *
  * \param enabled SDL_TRUE to enable capturing, SDL_FALSE to disable.
  * \returns 0 on success or -1 if not supported; call SDL_GetError() for more
  *          information.
