@esjrac, you wrote in the duplicate Bug #1874017 that the issue occurs
for you under Wayland as well. Can you repro this also in the tablet
mode of the foldable devices that you mentioned there?

I am asking because for me this occurs under Wayland only if the devices
are laptop mode. In tablet mode, the OSK comes up fine (both auto by
touching textfield and when summoned by swiping).

I can still repro this (with gnome 3.36.1 on Focal) with foldable devices as 
described in the OP above, i.e. with:
Dell XPS 9575 2-in-1
Asus Zenbook Flip UX561UD

However under Xorg the OSK does not come up in tablet mode either

Title:
  On-screen keyboard (OSK) on touch screen does not seem to work at all
  under Xorg in Focal

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Focal, the OSK never appears for me under Xorg
  - Does not appear automatically when selecting text fields
  - Cannot be summoned on-demand by swiping up from bottom screen border (which 
worked on Eoan also under Xorg)

  Under Wayland, both these things continued to work after the Focal
  upgrade if the laptop is in tablet mode (but not if it is in regular
  laptop mode - not sure if this changed on upgrade).

  I could repro this on two "2-in-1" fold-able laptops:
  Dell XPS 9575 2-in-1
  Asus Zenbook flip UX561UD.

  (Note: There was an older bug #1760399 about OSK not working under
  Xorg, but this one was fixed in Cosmic)
