Can't set Line width using V3d_View with QOpenGLWidget

Hello,
I have migrate my Qt/OCC integration from V3d_View/QWidget to V3d_View/QOpenGLWidget like done in the OcctQtViewer sample application https://github.com/gkv311/occt-samples-qopenglwidget but now the linewidth of wireframe shape is not working anymore (see difference in attached image, left is V3d_View/QOpenGLWidget and right is V3d_View/QWidget from my application before I migrate).
I am using OCC 7.6.0 for my application. I tested the following snippet:
{
// dummy shape for testing
TopoDS_Shape aBox = BRepPrimAPI_MakeBox (100.0, 50.0, 90.0).Shape();
Handle(AIS_Shape) aShape = new AIS_Shape (aBox);
aShape->Attributes()->SetupOwnFaceBoundaryAspect();
aShape->Attributes()->UnFreeBoundaryAspect()->SetWidth(5);
aShape->Attributes()->SetUnFreeBoundaryAspect(aShape->Attributes()->UnFreeBoundaryAspect());
myContext->Display (aShape, AIS_WireFrame, 0, false);
}

So line width is not working, but I tested point size (using a vertex instead of the box shape) and the point size is working.

Does anyone have any clues on why it is not working and how to fix this, is it a bug?
Best regards,
François.

What "About sample" shows you about OpenGL / prints into console?

I have attached a screenshot of the "About sample".
Here is a similar output from the application with V3d_View/QWidget integration:

Qt has quite weird interface to select Core / Compatible profiles in OpenGL. Just comment the line "QSurfaceFormat::setVersion()" to get Compatible Profile which supports line width.

  //aGlFormat.setVersion (4, 5);
  aGlFormat.setProfile (myIsCoreProfile ? QSurfaceFormat::CoreProfile : QSurfaceFormat::CompatibilityProfile);

Thank you Kirill, now it is working properly!
