Preventing Timeline range from changing to referenced range?

[ukdesigner]

Whatever's happening in a Maya scene, using a reference changes the length of a timeline to match the reference, which is easy to change back after sure, but very infuriating and pointless.

How to reference in a file without changing the length of the existing timeline?

Thanks.
