I suddenly find this problem when I select "View items as a list" I can not able to select all by using mouse. Is this a natural behavior or that is a bug?

Since items are ordered in a list, folder/file data is presented in columns and rows. In a list, there is no empty space around the items, and the rows are stretched as far as the right side of the window, so no, it is not a bug that you cannot simply drag to select; you will alway "hit" another item when you start dragging, that is how it should be.
You can of course select items by either Ctrl+A (select all), Ctrl+click (to add clicked item to selection) or click / Shift+click (to select a part of the list), but that takes indeed the keyboard.

@KasiyA I did not have the slightest doubt you were able to use alternative methods to select, but added it just to be complete Sep 1, 2014 at 20:45
