Colorbar for imshow messes interactive cursor with masked data #15103

Description

@Descanonge

Bug report

Adding a colorbar when the mappable is the result of imshow for a masked array changes the behavior of the interactive z-data cursor and triggers a UserWarning.

Code for reproduction

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mask = np.zeros((4, 4), bool)
mask[:2] = True
A = np.ma.array(np.random.rand(4, 4), mask=mask)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
im = ax.imshow(A)
fig.colorbar(im)

Actual outcome

~/.anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/matplotlib/ticker.py:632: UserWarning: Warning: converting a masked element to nan.
  return '%-12g' % value

Screenshot from 2019-08-22 18-22-23

Expected outcome
Before adding the colorbar, the zdata cursor shows a blank ([]).
