That's because the First Person Controller uses MouseLook.cs to lock the cursor to the middle of the screen. I wouldn't use the First Person Controller in the Standard Asset if I were you since it's quite basic.

However, if you really want to keep using it, just uncheck the Lock Cursor option like the image shown right here: http://image.prntscr.com/image/5f0cfff147dc454c9a66c8f67166cf1e.png

Yes but how could you hide the mouse when in the game but when the ESC button is pressed the mouse become free to click things?

Use this:

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Cursor-visible.html

Simply set the cursor to invisible at the start.

Then when ESC is pressed, toggle the visibility.

 Cursor.visible = !Cursor.visible;

Thanks y'all this was driving me nuts. I thought it was something wrong with my UI! But it's the standard FPS asset that was making my GUI buttons not respond some of the time.

@allenallenallen Wow! Thanks for this image/answer. You have no idea how this issue (Lock cursor check box) has frustrated my work for many days. I could not get the FPS Controller to click a button. I was starting to think my laptop was cursed (LOL) and wondering why I was so rubbish at simple UI buttons when everyone seems to get it.

Now, it works like magic. Many thanks once again!

OMG its become clearer now, after struggling for a day to be able to click a ui button after checking all the raycasting whatnot's and attached components seemingly correct, i now know the issue (i think) is with the FPS looking in the wrong place and can work around it - many thanks for the pointer.
