GetContentAsync no longer working after update

I have a simple method

public virtual string GetHtml(Page page)
{
    return page.GetContentAsync().Result;
}

Before updating to 1.8 from 1.6 this method worked fine for me. However, it seems to hang whenever it is called now. The reason it is inside a method like this is that I have other overrides that fetch the html differently.

If I simply call the function it just hangs. However, If i call the same method using an await before doing it using .Result it works. The code below will work only if string temp = is used first.

string tmp = await Page.GetContentAsync();
var html = handler.GetHtml(page);

@kblok I downgraded to v1.7 and it is working again. This narrows it down a bit to something specific to v1.8. Ill have a look over the diff and see if i can find anything
