Org Timeline is pretty much deprecated. Carsten pointed out its
limitations years ago already (I cannot find the references on the ML,
tho).

I suggest to stay away from this feature, which ought to be removed at
some point. You can probably obtain the same feature with an agenda view
restricted to buffer.
