Why are my imshow windows different after upgrading to opencv 3.1?

Previously I had been using opencv 2.4.11 that was included in my python(x,y) install. When I used imshow() to display an RGB image I was able to easily zoom and if zoomed in close enough the RGB values would be shown as an overlay on each pixel.

Now having upgraded to opencv 3.1 the imshow() window is featureless. It displays the image and I can change the size of the window with the cv2.IMREAD_NORMAL flag enabled. However, I can no longer zoom in on the image.

How can I get these features using opencv 3.1? Must I return to opencv 2.4.11? Were these features perhaps even specific to the python(x,y) install itself?
