I can confirm I also have had this problem for years and can alleviate it by switching to a cheap mouse with a low polling rate. Unfortunately on Fedora I can't find any sure fire way to adjust the mouse polling rate and test or confirm that it did indeed change, so I can't verify more than that.
Update: I followed a tutorial on arch's wiki about seeing and setting the polling rate on my mouse so I decided to go through a few mice to scrape up some more info. I can see a mouse' polling rate, but I can't change it. Still, it's an opportunity to put some relevant info on this thread so here goes.
After going through the mice I had available. All but one with a 1000hz polling rate resulted in Wings being a jittery unresponsive mess. All the mice running at 125hz were smooth as butter. I don't know why a single high polling rate mouse chose to work, but this test wasn't an exact science. Some of these mice have adjustable DPI but this did not seem to have any effect on performance.
Anyway I can more or less confirm that 1000hz mice won't work in Wings3D. Pic relate: 5 out of 6 mice used.
