It is mind-boggling that Wiktionary pretends die Beherrschung behalten is a meaning of lassen. Quite obviously, sich nicht zu lassen wissen is an idiom, i.e. the meaning of the whole cannot be derived from the meaning of its parts: it does not mean nicht wissen, wie man sich läßt. A dictionary written by professionals of course acknowledges this fact.

The preposition vor is not part of the idiom. It is used to introduce a causal adjunct, just as in vor Wut rot anlaufen, vor Kraft kaum laufen können.

I love DWB. But if all the examples of lassen allegedly meaning sich beherrschen contain a negation, a reflexive pronoun and a verb with the meaning be able to, then we are dealing with an idiom and not a meaning of the word lassen.
