Hi Control points are for aligning the component photos to each other, not for aligning the panorama to the viewing frame.
The right way to rotate a pano is just to drag it around in the preview window (right mouse button; in slow preview the cursor point jumps to the horizon; in fast preview you get a true rotary drag). Trying to rotate it by fiddling with control points would lead to disaster in my hands. Dragging the preview is also the right way to make the horizon exactly straight, or vertical lines exactly vertical, which is the same thing. I believe there is a lot of confusion about this, due to the historical existence of 'horizontal' and 'vertical' control points -- which were a poor substitute for dragging the pano, are no longer needed, and best not used. The general straight line control points are a different story, they serve an important function for aligning photos and don't try to impose any orientation on the whole pano.
