SDK Manager broken after Mavericks update

Question

After updating my MacBook to Mavericks I recognoized that the SDK manager is no longer working correctly. When I click on the down-arrow to drop down folders content the manager has some redrawing issues (pictures)... I could live with that but its no longer possible to install new packages...

Does anyone know how to fix this?

As the SDK Manager is written in Java it should be a JRE problem(?).

[edit]

I checked if this issue also occurs on my iMac and it does (independently). Anybody else?

I believe the problem is with Java version 7. I'have java 7 on my OS Mavericks, and I'm seeing the same problems. I then looked into android executable (which is a bash script) and put set -ex on top of it. That way, I saw the exact command being run:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Commands/java -Xmx256M -XstartOnFirstThread -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir=/android/android-platform-v1-1/sdk/tools -classpath /android/android-platform-v1-1/sdk/tools/lib/sdkmanager.jar:/android/android-platform-v1-1/sdk/tools/lib/swtmenubar.jar:/android/android-platform-v1-1/sdk/tools/lib/x86_64/swt.jar com.android.sdkmanager.Main update sdk

So I just replaced java with version of java for 1.6.0, which in my installation, is at: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Commands/java and Android SDK Manager suddenly works!
