8am - Start of "Check email" task
9am - I complete "Check email" and check it off.
1pm - I should see the "Check email" task re-appear.

However, this is what I see.

8am - Start of "Check email" task (for the sake of this test I chose not to do it)
12pm - A new "Check email" task appears below the pre-existing one.

I thought that I should see it re-appear 4 hours AFTER I complete it as opposed to 4 hours after the start time. Can somebody clarify this with me? Thanks.
You are correct about the meaning of "start again", but I would guess that you had previously checked the task off at 8 a.m. and then created a new one that you didn't check. You might want to view remaining actions instead of available actions so you can see what is added as a new task when you check the old one off.
